  • 3-4 Tbsp Oil

  • 50 g Butter
  • 7-10 Tbsp grated nutmeg
  • 7-10 Tbsp Basil

Directions

  1. 1

    Wash parsley and basil, shake dry, pluck leaves from the stalks. Put 24 basil leaves aside. Put the rest of the basil, parsley, pine nuts, 4-5 tablespoons of water and olive oil into a tall mixing bowl. Puree finely with a blender. Stir in crème fraîche and season to taste with salt and pepper. Put it in a cold place

  2. 2

    Peel and wash the potatoes and cook them in boiling salted water for about 25 minutes. Meanwhile wash the meat, dab dry and cut each fillet into 8 slices. Drain mozzarella and cut into 12 slices. Place slices of meat next to each other on the work surface, season with salt and pepper. Place one slice of mozzarella and 2 basil leaves on each half of the fillet slices. Place the remaining slices of fillet on top of each other to form a small packet as a lid. Wrap a slice of ham around each package (be careful: ham must not tear).

  3. 3

    Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the parcels very slowly over a low to medium heat for 10-12 minutes while turning. In the meantime heat milk and butter. Drain the potatoes and immediately press them through a potato ricer. Stir in the hot milk and butter mixture. Season to taste with salt and nutmeg. Fold the herb crème fraîche into the puree with a fork so that it is marbled
